His city townhouse in Guestrow, Aberdeen, still stands today as Provost Skene's House, and is a small museum devoted to the archaeology and design of his generation. However the returning traders were not the only benefactors of the city - itinerant workers who had gone on to settle in the Baltic region also generously donated funds towards their home town's new University, as noted in 1682 by the then Principal, Robert Paterson. The building work of the University was achieved slowly, but would not have happened at all but for "generous and charitable countrymen within the cities of Danzig, Konningsberg and the Kingdom of Poland."

66. Thorstein Veblen As To A Proposed Inquiry Into Baltic And Cretan
and the peoples centering about the south shores of the baltic, and (b) a sustained The Scandinavian scholars have the archaeology of their own region
http://de.geocities.com/veblenite/txt/baltic.txt
Thorstein Veblen As to a Proposed Inquiry into Baltic and Cretan Antiquities. (Memorandum, 1910). Published as: "An Unpublished Project of Thorstein Veblen for an Ethnological Inquiry." The American Journal of Sociology, (Sept. 1933), pp. 237-241. The problem on which my interest in prehistoric matters finally converges is that of the derivation and early growth of those free or popular institutions which have marked off European civilization at its best from the great civilizations of Asia and Africa. These characteristic free institutions of the Western culture comprise the decisive traits of the domestic and religious life as well as those of the civil and political organization. It is conceived that the underlying forces to which this scheme of free institutions owes its rise and its sustained and peculiar growth are to be looked for (a) in the peculiar native endowment of the races (or race) involved in the case, and (b) in the material (economic) circumstances under which the Western peoples have lived, particularly in early times. The centers of this cultural growth, as first known to history, have been the Aegean or East Mediterranean region on the one hand and the North Sea-Baltic region on the other hand. Within these regions, again, exploration has latterly thrown Crete, with its cultural neighbors and ramifications, into the foreground as the early center of growth and diffusion of the Aegean-Mediterranean culture, while it has similarly centered attention on the shores of the narrow Scandinavian waters as the most characteristic center of early culture in the North Sea-Baltic region. And (c) quite recently the Pumpelly explorations in Turkestan have brought to light a culture (at Anau) of a very striking character and showing features that argue for a degree of relationship - racial, economic, and institutional - to these European centers, such as should merit close inquiry. There is apparently reason to look for (a) a racial connection in prehistoric (Neolithic) times between the peoples of the Aegean (Crete, etc.) and the peoples centering about the south shores of the Baltic, and (b) a sustained cultural connection, resting on trade relations, between the same regions and running through the Neolithic and Bronze Ages of northern Europe. It is believed that a sufficiently attentive canvass of the evidence will bring out a consequent similarity of character in the institutions under which the peoples of these two regions lived; which would argue that these two sources of what is most characteristic in later Western civilization are in great measure to be traced back to a common origin, racial and economic. And it is conceived that the late-known culture of Anau will come in as a complementary factor to round out this scheme of cultural growth by supplying elements which have hitherto seemed lacking in any attempted system of European prehistory. The "Aryan" explanation of this community of institutions, it may be added, is no longer tenable. A study of other primitive cultures, remote and not visibly related to this early European civilization, shows a close correlation between the material (industrial and pecuniary) life of any given people and their civic, domestic, and religious scheme of life; and it shows, further, that the myths and the religious cult reflect the character of these other -especially the economic and domestic - institutions in a peculiarly naive and truthful manner. An inquiry looking to the end here proposed, therefore, must have recourse to such industrial and pecuniary facts as are reflected by the available archaeological sites and exhibits, on the one hand, and to such indications of myth and religious cult as are afforded by the same explorations. These will have to be the main lines of approach, and it is along these lines that it is here proposed to review the evidence pertinent to the case - with the stress falling on the economic forces involved. A very considerable body of material is now available for such a study in this field of European prehistory, but little has been done toward exploiting it for the purpose here indicated. Nor has the material hitherto been canvassed in any comprehensive manner with such a question in mind. While much of the material to be drawn on has been published in excellent shape, its publication has been under the hand of students and scholars animated with other interests than those here spoken for - more particularly has the economic (industrial and pecuniary) bearing of the materials exhibited received relatively scant attention. The men who have canvassed and edited the published materials have necessarily seen those materials in the light of their own interest, and so have brought out chiefly those features of the material upon which the light of their own interest would fall most strongly. Any student who approaches the material from a new quarter, therefore, and requires it to answer questions that were not present or not urgent in the minds of those earlier students, must see and review the sites and exhibits for himself and make such use as he can of these materials, with the help of other men already engaged in the general field which he enters. It is no less requisite to come into close personal contact with the men engaged than it is to make first-hand acquaintance with the available materials; for it is a most common trait of scientists, particularly when occupied with matter that is in any degree novel and growing, that they know and are willing to impart many things that are not primarily involved in the direct line of their own inquiry and many things, too, to which they may not be ready to commit themselves in print. The evidences of the peculiar technological bent characteristic of Western civilization run very far back in the North Sea-Baltic culture, and the later explorations in Crete and its cultural dependencies suggest a similar aptitude for technological efficiency in the prehistoric Aegean culture. It is believed that a patient scrutiny of the available material for the two regions will go far to show (a) in what degree the two civilizations are to be correlated or contrasted on this technological side of their growth, (b) how far this technological peculiarity is to be traced back to racial or to environmental factors, and (c) what is the nature and force of the correlation, if any, between this peculiar development of technological efficiency and the early growth and character of that scheme of free institutions which today is as characteristic a trait of Western civilization as is its preeminence in point of technological efficiency. It will be seen, therefore, that such an inquiry as is here had in view would require time and would involve a somewhat extended itinerary. At the outset, it is believed, a visit should be made to two or three of the less sophisticated Indian Pueblos of the Southwest, as the best available outside term of comparison by which to check certain features of the European evidence and particularly certain of the facts shown in the explorations at Anau. The next move should, presumably, be to the sites and museums of Denmark and Sweden, with a side excursion of a somewhat detailed character to the British Museum and to certain archaeologists and ethnologists in England whose information and speculations must necessarily be drawn on. The Scandinavian scholars have the archaeology of their own region excellently well in hand, and their exhaustive acquaintance with the culture of later Germanic-Scandinavian paganism is likewise indispensable to a comprehensive survey of the question. Certain men and exhibits in Germany and Austria must also be seen and made use of, though this will presumably require less time and attention than the earlier and later stages in the proposed itinerary. The sites and exhibits of the Hallstatt and La Tène culture should also be visited, with more or less painstaking attention; and certain localities of northern Italy, marking one of the cultural areas that once in prehistoric times maintained trade relations with the Baltic, should likewise be seen and appreciated. There are also Italian students in this field whose aid is expected to be of first- rate value, both in the ethnology and the archaeology of the case. More detailed study as well as a greater allowance of time would necessarily be given to the several sites in the Aegean, with Crete as the central and most important point; where a somewhat protracted residence would be desirable if not indispensable, and from which excursions might profitably be made to Sicily, southeastern Asia Minor, Cyprus, and perhaps Transcaspia, as well as to several localities in the Aegean territory proper. These excursions outside of the Aegean lands seem, at this distance at least, less requisite than a residence of some months in Crete and the visits to Aegean sites supplementary to the study of Crete. The residence in the Aegean here spoken of, with the allowance of time which it would involve, is desirable in part on account of the very appreciable mass of printed material bearing on the case, and which could most expeditiously and effectively be acquired, assimilated, and checked by a person living within striking distance of the sites with which the descriptive material deals. It is believed that, in point of time, the inquiry so had in view should advantageously consume not less than three years. - The End -

Authorized interview by the journal "LITERATUREN" (October 2001) with MANFRED KORFMANN on site at Troia. LITERATUREN Since 1988 excavation work has been going on under your direction at Hisarlik. However, the ‘Troia Project’ has not given rise to public controversy until this past excavation season – the fourteenth. The Troia exhibition in which you present your new finds and findings has been a smash hit. At the same time, however, academic critics have begun to launch remarkably polemical assaults on it. Is there a relationship between the interest shown by the media and these sudden attacks?

Stu Shiffman - August 12, 1996
"Here also I find an account of the Addleton tragedy and the singular contents of the ancient British barrow."
Adventure of the Golden Pince-Nez "The shape of the grave and the mound, barrow, or tomb above it varied. It might be shallow or deep, fenced against wild animals or leveled to hide it from cannibals, ghouls, and marauders. In the grave the body might be left sitting, squatting, or prone on side or back. The direction in which it was faced or headed was important and varied greatly ‹ Moslems towards Mecca, Christian Europeans towards the West, migrant tribes toward the homeland of their ancestors."
"The archaeologist found that she was faced with a long leaf-shaped mound about fifty to sixty yards long, pointing due north. Under her woolly hat her hairs were beginning to rise, and she broke into a trot, her moon-boots squelching in the saturated peat. The sheer size of it made her heart beat faster. If there really was a ship down there, and if anything at all was left of it, this was going to make the Mary Rose* look like a pedalo."

Aims and objectives: Landscape is part of our everyday life . It surrounds us, in the home, at work or in our leisure time. Do we care about it? Can we perceive it in our everyday activity? Or do we admire the landscape only during holidays? It seems that it is worthwhile to stand and look around for a while and observe the landscape. What features can we recognise? Buildings, churches, farms, fields, roads, woods etc. Do we understand why they are there, their layout, their relationship to one another? What do we know about their origins? Do they mean anything for us? Everything that surrounds us has an impact on our lives, the comfort and fulfilment of our lives. So landscape and its shape also influence our lives.
